This is why I hate exclusive rights to the NFL for Madden and so on because the more the competition the better the games will be. That being said, I thought this game was a major disappointment. Richard Garriot is know for his progressiveness and originality and this was just another run of the mill game. So while I hate the fact that we have one less game to choose from, the good news is is that the market weeded out a game that was status quo. Can we put together something that is not WOW in space please? I think it always stinks when you have less options in the game market.

For shame. I can’t believe someone missed a perfect opportunity to break out “on the gripping hand”… For shame.

On the other hand, the developer "heroes" of old are 0/2 on new titles, proving that the same old doesn't work anymore On the other, other hand (I have three, yes, makes me LEET in FPS) it says alot about releasing crappy MMO-clones into the marketplace. The game probably would have played, and fared, better as a single player game - all they had to add was a storyline. Notes to devs - tacking on a monthly subscription does not an MMO make.

We are looking at a couple year gap for AAA MMOs other than WoW…" Does Funcom count these days? They're still working "The Secret World" so far as I know. SOE has The Agency and DC Universe Online coming up too. “Geez, is there ANYTHING on the horizon besides SWTOR? We are looking at a couple year gap for AAA MMOs other than WoW…”

With the brim pulled way down low
Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, Are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

I wanted it to be good, especially since it's the only game Garriott's made in like 10 years. Alas, it was not to be. Bring Back Abyss!!!
